The urban vibe supports the energy and urgency of working closely with others - and this will prove to be the environment with the highest impact for innovation and co-creation. Sized correctly, supplied with certain amenities, and allowing the appropriate access to people in terms of distance and proximity, the vibrancy will emerge naturally from the levels of engagement and satisfaction.
Social quality is found in a collegial atmosphere where the visibility of others makes them accessible - the neighborhood is walkable - with meaningful visual stops so that views are not intimidating or overwhelming.
